Umm. I don't want to be flamed for being anti-credit, but I'd like to suggest a mileage earning debit card unless there are specific reasons you need a credit card.

I just think credit cards promote fiscal irresponsibility. It's already too hard to live within your means without a credit card giving you the temporary ability to spend beyond your means as well as miles as an incentive to spend more.

Just some advice. Be careful. Know yourself.</font>
huh? if you can't afford it, don't spend!! i'm sure there are stupid people who can't control their spending on credit cards but please don't generalize. i have several credit cards with high limits and i am still able to live well within my means.
